If you wish the trigger to result in some action taking place on
another database, then there are two major methodologies available:

 1.  The trigger could RAISE an event.

     A LISTENing daemon would see that event, and do something in the
     other database.

 2.  The trigger could write data into a replicated table.

     The replication system (possibly Slony-I?) would then copy
     the replicable data to the other database.
